Seccheto - surf spot statistics

Seccheto, Italy, offers surfable conditions year-round, but the best months for consistent waves and favorable winds are November through February. During this period, ground swell percentages peak (18-23%), and mean swell sizes average 1.2-1.3m, providing more powerful and cleaner waves compared to other months. Wind conditions, however, remain challenging, with bad winds (onshore or cross-shore) dominating over 93% of the time. The winter months still stand out as the most reliable for surfers willing to tolerate less-than-ideal wind conditions. From March to October, swell consistency drops significantly, with ground swells becoming rare (3-20%) and mean sizes often below 1m. Summer months (June-August) are particularly weak, with no swell occurring over 59-61% of the time and minimal wave energy. Late autumn and early winter (October-December) see a gradual return of swells, with November emerging as a transition month with improving ground swell presence (18%) and manageable swell size (1.2m). Surfers should prioritize November-February for the highest chance of quality sessions, though wind conditions require patience.

December at Seccheto offers surfable conditions, though they can be inconsistent. The average swell height is 1.3m with a 6.6s period, producing mostly small to medium waves best suited for intermediate surfers. The dominant swell directions are SSE and S, which account for the majority of rideable waves (SSE: 6.52% at 0-0.5m, 6.39% at 0.5-1m, and 3.59% at 1-1.5m). Larger swells (1.5m+) are less frequent but do occur, particularly from the W, WNW, and S directions. Wind conditions are challenging, with only 5% of days providing ideal offshore winds (light ENE to ESE). The most common winds are NNE to SSE at 10-30kph, often creating onshore chop, especially from the S and SW. W and WNW swells accompanied by lighter winds offer the cleanest peaks, though larger W swells (2m+) can be powerful but inconsistent. Overall, expect variable conditions with occasional good sessions when swell and wind align, but patience will be required.
